Final preparations are now underway as we ready FIN, the latest explorer yacht from Arksen, for her first charter voyage through Arctic Norway.
Departing Bodø and spanning over 1,500 nautical miles, this Arksen 85 expedition traces a path through the remote coastlines of Steigen and the Lofoten Islands, where towering mountains meet open ocean and life is shaped by the elements.
Days unfold between sea and land. Sailing through fjords and straits, hiking exposed ridgelines, kayaking Arctic waters, and connecting with remote communities and local hosts. From the stillness of Efjord to the energy of Henningsvær, each moment is designed to immerse you deeper into the landscape.
On board, the Arksen 85 becomes your basecamp, a self-sufficient platform for exploration, carrying everything needed to go further, stay longer, and experience more.
Enquire with the Arksen sales team to explore the full itinerary for FIN’s inaugural Arctic voyage. Bespoke options are also available.
A true home away from home, where every space is considered.
Open, sociable living. Quiet moments in the study. A galley that connects seamlessly to the horizon. Cabins that feel less like accommodation, more like sanctuary.
From sunrise briefings on the bridge to slow evenings at anchor in silent running mode, this is a vessel designed to carry you further, for longer, in complete confidence.
